Best New Nightclub Trend

Hookah Bars

Editors' Picks

This category was first named "Best Nightclub Trend We Just Don't Get," but that's not very good reporting from an arts and entertainment paper, is it? So we sent out one of our own to check out the scene. (Incidentally, the reporter charged with this particular exploratory mission smoked at her first hookah bar in San Diego in 2003, returned to Boise and gave some serious thought to opening up one here before her "wiser" business-minded friends convinced her it would be a bust in Idaho.) We're actually pleased to report we had good fun toking, taking a break from crowded bars and having a little dance. First time? Ask for Jana at Babylon Hookah Lounge.
